Information
Package | gulp-jshint |
Description | JSHint plugin for gulp |
Node Version | >= 0.4 |
Install
npm install jshint gulp-jshint --save-dev
NOTE: as of 2.0 jshint must be installed with gulp-jshint.
Usage
const jshint = ;const gulp = ; gulp;
Options
Plugin options:
-
lookup
- Default is
true
- When
false
do not lookup.jshintrc
files. See the JSHint docs for more info.
- Default is
-
linter
-
Default is
"jshint"
-
Either the name of a module to use for linting the code or a linting function itself. This enables using an alternate (but jshint compatible) linter like
"jsxhint"
. -
Here's an example of passing in a module name:
gulp; -
Here's an example of passing in a linting function:
gulp;
-
You can pass in any other options and it passes them straight to JSHint. Look at their README for more info. You can also pass in the location of your jshintrc file as a string and it will load options from it.
For example, to load your configuration from your package.json
exclusively and avoid lookup overhead you can do:
const pkg = ;const jshintConfig = pkgjshintConfig; jshintConfiglookup = false; gulp;
Results
Adds the following properties to the file object:
filejshintsuccess = true; // or falsefilejshinterrorCount = 0; // number of errors returned by JSHintfilejshintresults = ; // JSHint errors, see [http://jshint.com/docs/reporters/](http://jshint.com/docs/reporters/)filejshintdata = ; // JSHint returns details about implied globals, cyclomatic complexity, etcfilejshintopt = {}; // The options you passed to JSHint
Reporters
JSHint reporters
Built-in
You can choose any JSHint reporter when you call
stuff
External
Let's use jshint-stylish as an example
const stylish = ; stuff
- OR -
stuff
JSHint plugins have no good module format so I tried to support all of them I saw in the wild. Hopefully it worked, but if a JSHint plugin isn't working with this library feel free to open an issue.
Fail Reporter
Do you want the task to fail when a JSHint error happens? gulp-jshint includes a simple utility for this.
This example will log the errors using the stylish reporter, then fail if JSHint was not a success.
stuff
Custom Reporters
Custom reporters don't interact with this module at all. jshint will add some attributes to the file object and you can add a custom reporter downstream.
const jshint = ;const map = ; const myReporter = ; gulp;
Reporter Configuration
Some reporters have options which you can pass to jshint.reporter()
. Here is an example of using verbose mode with the default JSHint reporter.
gulp;
Extract
Tells JSHint to extract JavaScript from HTML files before linting (see JSHint CLI flags). Keep in mind that it doesn't override the file's content after extraction. This is your tool of choice to lint web components!
gulp;
